Yes, I see it's there. And both the symbol 01-09-018 and the one on the
keyboard will be seen equally as 'T' by Norwegain signers.
It is wonderful to have this symbol list for the computers, but I think we
need to bear in mnd that for the actual signing, the 'articulation' may
vary slightly from sign language to sign language and from signer to
signer. It will not be nearly as varied as the pronounciation of the latin
alphabeth by speakers, anyway. But still, what constitutes a significant
differnce in one language community is of no concern to another. That is
partly why I am so pleased whith the concept of 'action fingers', which
means that we may let the others 'rest'.
I will try to come up whith photos of handshapes in Norwegian sign
language, both those that should be written as the same as they are
percieved as the same, and those that differs significantly.
Ingvild
